[FX.php List] Memory Error

[Karstyn McCoy]

Thought I would get back and say what the problem turned out to be.

The web page was a long registration form that updated a bunch of FM
portals - which ended up being the issue. The errors were sporadic in
that if one portal and/or a document upload section were commented out
then the page worked fine. It didn't seem to matter what portal
section was commented out, just that one or more were. The errors
could be different as well, and the memory allocation in the error
message never jived with the php.ini or phpinfo settings - so a bit of
a red herring  there.

So changing the design to just go to a base layout to work through,
instead of working through portals, settled everything down.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
